Lord
Navigating the Depths of Freedom: Young Fathers' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Lord, don't pay me no mind
Asking for divine indifference or disregard
Lord, if you choose a time
Requesting a specific moment from a higher power
Lord, don't pay me no mind
Seeking further disregard from a higher power
I'll take another one and I'll be yours
Accepting another chance and offering oneself
Lord, if you choose a time
Reiterating willingness to be a follower at a chosen time
I'll be the child
Willingness to embody innocence or submission
Lord, don't pay me no mind
Continued request for disregard from a higher power
Lord, if you choose a time
Expressing readiness for a specific time chosen by a higher power
I'll be the child
Reaffirming willingness to be submissive at the chosen time
It's too late, too late
Indicating a missed opportunity, no chance for future encounters
I won't see you later
No intention of meeting again in the future
If you fade, I'll fade
If the subject fades away, the speaker will also fade
Fading together
Describing a mutual fading or disappearing
Love is blind
Love lacks discernment
Her love is kind
Love possesses kindness
Her love is mine
Emphasizing possession or ownership of love
Her love is mine
Repetition of ownership over love
Love wants to give
Love desires to offer
Hate wants the thrills
Hate seeks excitement or stimulation
Joy hates the pain
Joy dislikes suffering or distress
But pain, we all need
Recognizing the necessity of experiencing pain
The pain we need to feel
Highlighting the essentiality of feeling pain
If wishes were horses
Expressing a hypothetical situation and its outcome
Then beggars will ride
Indicating limitations based on circumstances
This is my cross to bear
Repeated assertion of personal burdens or struggles
This is my cross to bear
-This is my cross to bear
-This is my cross to bear
-Lord, don't pay me no mind
Reiteration of seeking divine disregard
I'll take another one and I'll be yours
Reaffirming readiness to accept another chance
Lord, if you choose a time
Willingness to be submissive at a chosen time
I'll be the child
Willingness to embody innocence or submission
Lord, don't pay me no mind
Continued plea for disregard from a higher power
I'll take another one and I'll be yours
Reiteration of accepting another chance
Lord, if you choose a time
Expression of readiness for a specific time chosen by a higher power
I'll be the child
Reaffirming willingness to be submissive at the chosen time
While the government wants to control
Commentary on governmental control versus personal freedom
Our country will set you free
Assertion of a country's ability to provide freedom despite control attempts
